Good Price Short Lifespan

You definitely get what you pay for in this product. I purchased this product nearly 4 years ago only to find out shortly thereafter that it had a fairly high failure rate judging by customer reviews at that time. But I thought what the heck, I'll keep it because I can avoid the trend. It couldn't happen to me is what I kept thinking. So I used this device as my primary storage drive next to a separate boot device on my home PC. This morning I booted my computer and, with one single warning message, it failed and went offline. Never to power up again. I tried a list of different non-intrusive methods to recover my data, short of taking the drastic measure of replacing the control device within the drive, but nothing worked. Now I'm left with a paper weight until I can take it apart and hopefully clone the data image off of it. The point is - DO NOT buy this drive. The price is good, I'll give them that, but the lifespan of these devices are bad.

Bad

Both seagate I bought of that same model gave up after only 2 months. Would recommend staying away from seagate products in the future. 6 TB down the drain, thank you seagate.

Defective product, bad manufacturer, stay away

I purchased two of these drives and kept them in the package until I used them to replace old 500 GB drives.
Both started having significant numbers of bad blocks and hard (unrecoverable) errors within a few months of installation and are effectively useless in less than one year of use.
A class action lawsuit for this defective product is in progress in the USA. DO NOT BUY SEAGATE DRIVES!

2 DRIVES 2 DEAD WITHIN A YEAR

Both drives died a quick death , one at 6 months the other at 10 , no warning , they just died , could not run any tests . One thing good is Seagate has an easy return policy , had a new, well refurb drive within a week . Not sure I'll use these for anything other than SHORT term storage , no longer trust my once go to manufacturers . Where to go now with all the consolidation in the industry ?
Now have 6 tb of drives I no longer trust for files I'll need long term
